5. Yep. As I said on Thursday night, the Mitt bounce was over.
|
It was a bounce, it was small and short-lived. He got a free week of positive press. And, now it is over.

2. All but one the polls they list have Romney in the lead
|
So how does that give Obama a lead in the average?
But a Behavior Research Center poll has Obama up by 3 in AZ. |

3. Biden started the momentum again and Obama needs to keep it going on Tuesday. I believe he will.

6. Irrelevant -- that average was from Thursday...
|
...and most of the polls they've included since then have Romney in the lead.
This one is just too good to be true. |
